I have a well to do aunt who is a bird watcher. I believe her binoculars cost more than one of Pcads bikes. I'm sure when it comes to telling a sparrow from a swallow they will beat my navy surplus pair, but come on, $8000 for f***ing birds?
For $8000, she coulda just bought the damn birds, and looked at them up close anytime she wants. Screw the binoculars.
